Makes That crop n Failure Hut other
 Products Make the Farmers Life a
 Happy One.
 AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. 21.-The Maine Farmer will tomorrow publish it's autumnal review of the gathered crops in Maine. The hay crop, which easily holds it's place as the leading crop, was larger than for five or six years, but on account of the poor weather near the closing about one third of it was gathered in greatly damaged condition. The potato rot has made that crop failure, though on the new and rich lands of Aroos- took something of the crop will be saved. Farmers have wisely dug their potatoes un- usually early, but they seem to be rotting in the cellars. The apple crop is light and the destructive maggot has put in his work. h. dian and sweet corn are better than for years. Corn factories springing up every where, furnishing profitable market. The same may be said of butter factories. The pastures were never more luxurious and the fine condition of the stock attests the fact that the husbandmen have been blessed with a splendid grain crop. Commercial fertilizers are increasing in use and also increasing in value in the estimation of farmers. Every thing bstokens continued prosperity for the farmers of Maine.

BOLD ATTEmPT AT BURGLARY.


 Burglars Make an UnsuceessfuI At tempt SO Enter the Dry Goods Store of 1T. y. ShanleY & Co. on Grand Avenue Scared Away but Not by the Police "Bergs Gallagher one ofthe Thieves Just Released from WethersAeld.
 bold attempt was made to burglarize the dry goods store of T. J. Shanley & Co. at No. 737 Grand avenue shortly after eleven o'clock last evening. Luckily the burglars attempts were frustrated.
 The burglars broke the glass in a rear window of the store and were working over @ shutter, which had a crossbar on the inside, when German residing upstairs heard the noise. Pluckily enough he rushed down stairs and hearing him coming the thieves ran away. The officer on the beat did not hear the noise and did not see the thieves go away.
 One of the burglars who made the unsuc- eessful attempt is known to be John Gala gher, better known to his pals "Berg'' Gallagher. Two weeks ago he was released from State prison, where he had been serving three years term of burglary. One night in December, 1883, Gallagher entered Munson's grocery store at the corner of Grand avenue and Franklin street. Mrs. Munson heard the noise from her apart ments over the store. She called Officer McGrath, who entered the door from the rear. Gallagher made a break and went through the window, glass and frame The officer followed and captured his man after an exciting chase. Gallagher was sentenced for three years. He and his pal were still at large at three o'clock this morning.
